Question...? (Sasuke Uchiha) {Break}

Chapter 2:
(Timeskip to a week later)

In my windowless pitch black apartment room I hear banging, It's time to get up. Instead of an alarm you the workers band on your door. It's almost worse.

"Damn. I'm up, I'm up!"

"You have mail."

"Mail?"

She slipped it through my door hole and a letter came out.. Sasuke?

'Meet me at the waterfall west of the hokage rock, we need to talk'

                                          -Sasuke

What is this about? Oh no, this is about the other night isn't it? But I don't know if Sasuke  would be so eager to talk about it. He doesn't rub me like that sort of guy.
He's always been closed off on how he feels, and I can understand that I am too. Might as well get ready. I throw on my usual ninja gear and walk down the hallway.

I'm not sure how to feel about this. I wonder what would've happened that night. If we weren't interrupted, I keep replaying it in my mind. It's almost like I want him to kiss me.

But it doesn't matter anymore. Wake up, move. I finally found the rock and started to follow a grassy trail, it was almost nostalgic. It smelt like my childhood almost, the fresh rain smell, the flowers blooming. I recognized them, the flowers. They were carnations, a deep maroon mixed with a few white colored ones. I look up and see Sasuke sit on the side where the waterfall was throwing some rocks at the beautiful, running stream.

"Sasuke!" I shout and wave as I speed walk up the path wrapping around the waterfall.
He waved me over, slightly glancing at me and looking back at the stream. He pats the ground next to him and I sit down holding my knees.

"You see that right there..."

I glance over and see an otter viciously tearing at a beaver blood staining its wet fur while the stream continues to run peacefully.

"Damn, that's disgusting. Has he been tearing that down the whole time you've been here?"

"No. I watched it die."

My eyes widened as I nodded and looked down.

"The weak die and the strong will slaughter them. There's nothing we can do about it." Sasuke spat glaring at the scene. I saw the anger behind his eyes. His body language was composed as always but you could see the ferocity and intensity behind his eyes. I laid my head on my knees facing him.

"Sasuke. What is this about, clearly it's not about some beaver. What's going on?'  I spoke softly yet firm. I knew I had to watch my step, he was tense.

"I'm leaving the village." he spoke bluntly, facing my direction with an emotionless expression.

I remembered the events of the past week and in retrospect it made sense. His and Naruto's fight on the top of the hospital, the last mission. I could tell Sasuke was feeling weak, somewhat insecure in the face of strength and power.  Somewhat dumbfounded with what to say.

"Oh. I see, Why tell me this?"

"Because I trust you and I know you. Its unbearable at this point, I'm not gaining power fast enough."

"How do you know I won't tell anyone?
"If you do, you're not the person I thought you were. But I'm not worried about it, you know what it's like. The pain, the itch, the desire. It's unacceptable at this point, I feel like a child running around like this. You're not a fool like Naruto and Sakura, you know what the world out there is like. Cruel, unpredictable, and nasty."

"As much as I would like to tell you it's not worth it, or that it's never enough. The life of somebody like us, living with the idea that somebody as destructive, catastrophic, and immoral like that living on the same planet as you. Will always be worse.I trust you too Sasuke, I'm begging you don't do something stupid." I plead looking deeply into his eyes.

The look of intensity is almost gone, and it's replaced with a slight shock.
He closes his eyes for a slight second and nods.

"Can I ask you one last question?" He says looking deeply in my eyes.

I nodded as the brook crashed within itself.

"I-If we would've had more time together what do you think we could have become..?"
He slightly stammered slightly blushing, still not breaking eye contact. My heart slightly fluttered as I felt the breeze of the cool rain misted air.

"I-I-I'm not 100% certain but I know it'd be beautiful and unforgettable..." I softly whispered. It was almost like I was stuck in molasses, I couldn't move and I couldn't look anywhere but his eyes. He's beautiful...

He reached his hand out and caressed my face with his hand, it was surprisingly soft. I could feel him closing in. It was exactly what I wanted, but this wasn't the right time.

"Wait."

"Oh sorry I thought-"

I placed a soft kiss on his cheek and whispered in his ear.

"Kiss me when you come back to me. I'll miss you, don't be too long. Please"

He blushed softly and nodded.
"I promise." He picked up my hand and placed a soft kiss on my hand.

I wrap my arms around his neck and pulled him into a tight hug.

"Good."
